Describing character, personality or moods can be troublesome. To describe someone quite accurately you need a wide range of adjectives.

First of all, we should note that character, personality and mood are slightly different things.

According to dictionaries, character means all the qualities and features that a person possesses while personality can refer to the combination of various aspects of a person’s character which allow him or her to be perceived as different from everyone else. Both are viewed as more permanent characteristics.

As for mood, it is something more transitory. It is the way you feel at a particular time.

Which of these would you consider character or mood adjectives? Can they be both?
